"You Be Sweet (Sharing Your Heart One Down-Home Dessert At a Time)" by Patsy Caldwell is a traditional southern cookbook with an array of southern dessert recipes. First of all I would like to talk about the recipes in this book,which, as I expected, call for lots of butter and oil. That being said I wouldn't judge this book by how unhealthy the recipes are since it's kind of a given anyways. Nonetheless, I was very pleased with the recipes this book has to offer. It features an abundance of traditional recipes as well as some that I haven't heard of at all. Although I haven't tried any of the recipes, they seem simple and very easy to follow and I am very eager to give the white chocolate soup with brownies and the doughnut bread pudding with vanilla pudding a shot.
As far as the stories in the beginning of the chapters go, they're mediocre. Nothing that I would reread or anything. Although that might be due to the fact that to me, a cookbook is a resource for recipes and not a "novel" read. Another thing that I would like to point out is that the photographs in this book are beautiful and mouthwatering but there are very few of them. This might not concern many people but I am a visual person so lack of pictures makes me hesitate to try a recipe in the first place.
Overall, this cookbook has a nice layout and features many original recipes that I would love to try.
